Misc

Do not tase Wendy's clerk for getting your order wrong. I dunno, customers being allowed to give electric shocks to fast food workers might give them some incentive to actually get the orders right.

Annoyed by cellphones chats? Scientists explain why. Because listening to half of some idiot's conversation is somehow twice as worse as listening to both idiots in the conversation.

Yarr!!!

Hollywood's passion for movie remakes may run into copyright problems... created by Hollywood. The irony is probably lost on them.

Why I Steal Movies… Even Ones I'm In. If Darth Maul says it's okay, it must be. Seriously though, Peter Serafinowicz was already cool enough, this post is just bonus cool points.

Entertainment

Hulu subscription plan delayed, but likely still coming. I think it'll be a massive failure.

Is Nathan Fillion Ant-Man? That'd be cool.

V gets shoved to ABC's midseason line-up. Why? ABC explains 'V' midseason scheduling.

What if DOCTOR WHO were a Disney movie? Why does the TARDIS look like a soda vending machine?

Megan Fox dropped from TRANSFORMERS 3. Has she already been replaced? I think she's way over-rated for her looks and is a terrible actress.

Shia LaBeouf not afraid to tell Spielberg that INDY 4 stunk. He still cashed those checks though, didn't he?

Dirk Benedict on new A-TEAM movie: "They'll screw it up". Another remake for him to whine about. And again, here's another guy taking the check despite thinking the project is shit.

ABC's LOST set to be extended. The home video release of the final episode might be twenty minutes longer.

Video Games

PC Piracy Drove Gears of War Creators to Console Development. Piracy aside, let's face it, console gaming is more mainstream than PC gaming. Nearly everybody has a computer, but I'd say only a small fraction still use them for gaming.

RE5 boss: Japanese games industry hasn’t got “hope in hell”.

COD 7: BLACK OPS official UNCUT reveal trailer [HD]. This looks pretty good.
